Hi guys,
A couple weeks ago I became the proud owner of this '03 330i ZHP 6spd hardtop sedan (sapphire black on natural brown). The car just rolled 101K miles but still drives amazing, especially compared to my previous E30 318is 5spd hardtop coupe. I used to have a 04 Nissan 350Z and 93 MR2 Turbo which were great purpose built track cars but getting ready to finish paying off my degree I wanted something easier on the budget but without sacrificing fun. After test driving a few E36 M3 sedans, E90 330i sedans, and E60 530is, I felt at home with this car. :D
The previous owner had made a couple modifications to it, that being the staggered 18" ASA wheels which is missing a center cap on the pass. side rear, Rogue Engineering CF strut brace, TMS CF shift knob, an E46 M3 steering wheel, projector fog lamps, and shadowline kidney grill. All I have planned for the car is an ECS Tuning steel skid plate, new shifter bushings, a WaveTrac LSD, and either M3 or M6 wheels. Along with restoring the faded lower grill to its original black.
Look forward to hanging around the forum and seeing what else I can waste money on.;)
